Trainings

Volunteers: Training is highly recommended and volunteers may attend any training that is convenient to you, see the schedule below. On the day of the Count, please arrive at the deployment center you indicated as your #1 choice, unless we contact you with other instructions. We will monitor registrations to ensure adequate coverage in all regions. GENERAL START TIME IS 6:00 AM, confirmation will be sent to all volunteers.

Trainings are mandatory for Paid Homeless Guides. Homeless Guides must bring a signed referral cardfrom a homeless service provider who will vouch for you, to participate in training. At the end of the training you will receive a card certifying you have been trained. You must bring this card to your local deployment center to begin work. Be there at 6:00 AM on Friday, February 23rd, 2018.
